Nurture | Challenge | Empower

We believe that everyone can grow more intelligent across a wide range of disciplines through hard work, reflection, and effort. We value that our students are unique and may pursue their own paths in life. At CIS, we nurture, challenge, and empower all of our students to succeed in whatever they choose to pursue.

We Are World Citizens

Our students are consistently accepted to top universities worldwide. Our students become engineers, doctors, artists, musicians, tech specialists, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes- whatever it is that they choose to pursue. They get there from being able to explore their own passions, in a safe space.  They develop their grit, so when they encounter hardships they know how to pick themselves up, learn and grow.

We Are Artists

Analysis, synthesis, collaboration, and creativity are at the pinnacle of human expression. Students who actively engage in a variety of Artistic Expressions approach problems more thoughtfully and are among the top academic achievers in any school. At CIS we place a high value on the Arts as we know their profound effect on students' learning, well-being and perspective in life.

We Are Athletes

At CIS, we equip each child with the ability to learn from failure. We do so through developing grit, so when a student encounters failure that they won’t retreat to their known comfort zone; our students look at failure as learning points, and know how to pick themselves up and push ever further in their pursuits.
